aJLJBClFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 347,827, dated August 24, 1886,

Application filed C\piil 1G, 1:86. Serial No. 199,110. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, JOHN JAMES PUGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Deer Ridge, in the county ofy Lewis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Im provement in Churns, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in eliurns; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detailed section taken on the line x x of Fig. 2.

A represents a vertical frame, which consists of the vertical standards B, the bar G connecting the upper ends of the standards, the bar D connecting the said standards at a suitable distance from their lower ends, and the inclined supporting-legs E, the upper ends of which are attached to the standards at a suitable distance from the lower ends thereof. A cross-bar, F, connects each pair of the inclined legs E, and is bolted to the lower end of the standards B, thereby securely bracing the said standards. In the lower ends of the standards are made vertical slots b.

0n the outer side of one of the standards B, near the upper end of the same, is secured a vertical bracket, G, which is provided at its upper end with a laterally-extending horizontal spindle II. V

In the bracket G, and in the opposing standard B, is journaled a shaft, I,.which earriesa large spur-wheel, K. To the outer end of the shaft is attached a crank-handle, L.

M represents a transverse horizontal shaft, which is journaled in the standards B at a slight distance above the cross-bar D. To one end of this shaft is secured a spur-pinion, M, which meshes with the spur-wheel K, and to the opposite end of the said shaft is secured a crank-wheel, N.

O represents a lever, which has one end pivoted on the spindle H, and which extends across the vertical frame, and has its free end secured and guided between a vertical strap, P, (which is secured on the front side of one of the standards 13,) and the opposing side of the said standard.

B represents a pitman, which connects the free end of the lever O with the crank-pin of the wheel N.

S represents a horizontal platform, which is of the standards and enter the outer edges of the platform S and engage with threaded openings in the nuts T.

ln one side of the platform S is made an open slot, S, which extends nearly to the center thereof. This platform forms the cover for the ehurnbody V, and the platform is made vertically adjustable in order to accommodate churns of different heights.

W represents the dasher-rod, which passesr through the slot S2, and has it upper end connected to the lever O by means of links X, which are pivoted to the upper endof the dasher-rod and are connected to the leven O by a pin or bolt, Z, which passes through openings made in the links and in the lever O.`

By providing a series of these openings in the links they may be attached to the lever O at different points, as will be very readily understood.

The operation 'of my invention will be apparent from the foregoing description and by reference to the aceompanyingdrawings.

I am aware of Letters Patent of the United States No. 290,799, granted to O. E. Perry, and disclaim the construction shown therein.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. The combination, in a churn, of the vertical frame A, carrying the operating meehanism to actuate the ohurn-dasher, and having the vertical standards B, provided with the vertical slots b, the horizontal platform S, having projecting ears on opposite sides,

bearing on the standards B, to guide the plat-V IOO cover for the churn, and the setscrews U in the slots b, and entering the platform, for the purpose vset forth, substantially as described.

2. The combination, in a churn, of the frame A, having the vertical slots b, the horizontal platform S, forming the cover for the churn, and the set-screws U in the slots b, and entering the platform, substantially as described.

3. In a churn, the combination of the frame having the vertical standards B, and the platformforming the cover for the churn and having the open slot S2, the shaft M, journaled in the standards and having the pinion M
